1 6 ZAIDAN (M234) D Beadman -- Slotted in to box seat 1 out 1 back, 4-5Ls off leader, suited by speed, came wider turning and showed class to dig deep wearing down margin for narrow victory.
2 7 FAMILISTS (M102) B Prebble H Well enough away, camped off speed, 4Ls away on rails, lovely run to bend, joined in strongly at 300 M and just lost out late in battle with a promising horse.
3 4 PAGANINI'S SOUL (L373) D Whyte XB Good early speed, in front but unable to lead, took sit and camped in 2nd to turn, challenged at 300m, couldn’t match first two late.
4 5 PENGLAI XIANZI (CK248) M Chadwick TT Rolled forward as expected to drive through and lead, rolled along at good sections, 2-3Ls clear on bend, came back to them at 200m but stayed on ok to make frame.
5 10 EXPRESS WIN (CJ042) Y T Cheng B/TT Settled 3 wide with cover, 7Ls or so down behind midfield, same margin down to bend, closed creditably down centre to be closest at finish.
6 14 TAVERNER (CK227) M Du Plessis B/TT Ok away, went forward to race first without cover, 2 wide 3-4Ls back, made ground too 400m and was a brief place chance but didn’t go on late.
7 13 GRAND DANCER (CK268) M L Yeung B Taken down to rails from an awkward alley, 8Ls away on rails, job to do turning, made steady progress without properly threatening.

9 2 LONDON CHINA TOWN (L236) K C Leung CO- Restrained to slot in just off midfield, 7Ls back in running line , improved on bend, steady progress to 200m but flattened out thereafter.
